Logic Problem Solution:
Boys Soccer Coaches
The five soccer coaches are named in clue 1: Kenny, Cruyff, the
United coach, the coach of the Spurs, and the U-11 mentor. The
Rangers aren't coached by Kenny (3) nor by Cruyff (8), so the Rangers
must be the U-11 team in clue 1. By clue 4 then George coaches the
U-13 team and Nesbitt leads the U-12 squad. In clue 6, where David's
players are one year older than Keegan's and Keegan's are one year
older than the FC players, David either is Nesbitt and coaches the
U-12 team or David coaches the U-11 Rangers. If David were coach of
the Rangers, then Keegan would coach the U-10 squad and FC would be
the name of the SSA U-9 team (6). In clue 1, then, either Kenny or
Cruyff would be coach of FC. If Kenny were coach of FC and Cruyff
then coach of City, Cruyff would have to be George and City would be
the U-13 squad--no (9). If Cruyff were coach of FC, in clue 1, Kenny
would be coach of City. Since Kenny isn't Keegan (3), Kenny would
have to be Nesbitt--contradicting clue 7, where Coach Nesbitt isn't
the City mentor. Therefore, David isn't Rangers coach. In clue 6,
David is Nesbitt, Keegan leads the Rangers, and FC is the U-10 team.
In clue 1, either Cruyff or Kenny coaches FC. If Cruyff were FC coach,
Kenny would coach City, the U-9 squad. He wouldn't be Dalglish (2)
and would thus be Coach Best--a conflict, since Best doesn't coach City
(7). So, Kenny is FC coach. In clue 1, Cruyff must be City's mentor.
His team aren't the U-13 boys (9); they are the U-9 squad. Cruyff
isn't Johan (8); Keegan is, and Cruyff is Kevin. By clue 2, Dalglish
is George and Kenny Best. George Dalglish coaches Spurs and David
Nesbitt United (5). The five SSA soccer coaches are
- U- 9 : City, coached by Kevin Cruyff
- U-10 : FC, coached by Kenny Best
- U-11 : Rangers, coached by Johan Keegan
- U-12 : United, coached by David Nesbitt
- U-13 : Spurs, coached by George Dalglish
